Neither the instructor nor the student has the authority to dismiss a captioner.

The Deaf Services Supervisor will release a captioner from an assignment when necessary.

Exceptions to the standard captioning guidelines may be made in the case of an approved
accommodation based on disability related limitations. A Disability Support Services
Counselor must approve such adjustments,

Classroom Captioner Guidelines

The captioner will transcribe instructor lectures and student comments using specialized
computer equipment.

The captioner will begin writing when the student arrives.

If a student leaves the classroom for any reason, the captioner will resume writing
when the student returns.

The captioner is responsible to transcribe only auditory/verbal information.

During a test, lab or captioned video, the captioner will remain in the classroom.
